  1. How could 7-Eleven not know about this? They are famous for mico-managing their franchisees, to the point they sue 7-Eleven over it, and they claim they didn't know anything about human trafficking? Liars.

  2. Sorry but 7 11 is nasty. They were nasty back in the burbs and they're nasty here in the city. Good for cigs and nothing else. Just sayin.

  3. The 7-11 on 14th street by 2nd avenue has hired local kids as its staff. Not sure what to make of that.

  4. One store I could understand, but so many locations and their corporate offices didn't know?

  5. Disgusting. The penalties are clearly not strong enough against employers, or this would not continue. There must be a hammer, not a slap on the wrist.

  7. Anonymous 4:50,
    Because it's an isolated example. At least for 7-Eleven. These organizations supply laborers for all sort of small businesses, though. That's what makes them so hard to locate.
